Four-star quarterback Behren Morton visited Baylor this weekend.
But on Tuesday morning, he tweeted a video announcing his commitment to the team the Bears took down Saturday: Texas Tech.
Even with the loss, Morton felt the Red Raiders were where he wanted to be.
He lived in Lubbock as a child when his dad was the head coach of a local high school football team, according to KTXS.
“I felt like I was at home in Lubbock. I was born in Lubbock and I lived in Lubbock for eight years of my life. I’ve gotten to see football games in Lubbock and I always wanted to be a Red Raider growing up,” Morton said to Rivals.
I’m 1000% committed to…..
